ABOUT US

Winneshiek County Celebration of Life (WCCOL) traces its roots to Margaret Walters of Decorah.  WCCOL officially became an 501(c)3 non-profit, January 1st 2009.

Our ability to help area individuals has been a local promise from individuals, businesses and memorials that see the good that we have and will continue to do for our communities in Winneshiek County.

If you wish to help us with our mission to promote awareness and early detection of disease through education and financial support of preventive screening services please include us in your charitable contributions throughout the year.
